Singapore Botanic Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world and presents an incredible atmosphere. In this journal, we will develop and provide innovative ideas to the SBG as an idea in developing SBG to a wider direction, not only in SBG but can spread all over the world. Environmental problems that are commonly occurring today, can be overcome by such innovations and by using several methods such as The 7S’s of Galliers & Sutherland and Competing with the giants of the Harvard business review, we will know to what extent SBG has grown and then E = K.MC2 which is an innovative formula which later developed into SBG University (The Idea & Innovation For the future) which is an innovative idea in expanding what has been done by SBG, innovation is needed, not only to retain existing ones, but to be able to give positive contribution which in giving the true meaning of the vision and mission of the company and / or organization that has been established. Innovation should not stop at one point, but it should be able to spread to other points that can make human life much better.","PeriodicalId":234310,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Management Sciences","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125227872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though they have the desires and zeal to be enterprising, lack of adequate human capital development through training and skill acquisition continue to be a high priority bottleneck that delimits the exporting potentials of SMEs in Nigeria. This study looked into the level of education of SMEs operators in Nigeria and their performance at the international market. It investigated the correlation and effect of education on the exporting potential of SMEs in Nigeria. Education was discovered to play a vital part in the exporting potential of SMEs as it had a high significant effect on both export (at P value of 0.001) and export sales of SMEs (at P value of 0.000).","PeriodicalId":234310,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics and Management Sciences","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125868198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we use the test unit root of cointegration test, the model error correction of FMOLS and Granger causality. In the case of Tunisia, we find that all variables are integrated of order 1. Thus, we can use the cointegration test. Indeed, the result of the null hypothesis test of no cointegration was rejected at the 5% threshold, which explains the presence of a cointegration relationship between FDI, sustainable development and poverty. Finally, we present and interpreted the results of the estimated FMOLS model and Granger causality test to study the contribution of FDI to the poverty reduction and sustainable development in Tunisia. We find that the LIDE variable measuring foreign direct investment has a significant negative impact on the GINI index. We notice the LCO2 variable that measures the CO2 emissions has a negative and significant impact on poverty as measured by the poverty gap at $ 1.91. We prove that direct foreign investments have a significant negative impact on CO2 emissions.
